As a child I didn’t experience much touch that was unequivocally positive and loved sugar. I still identify as an introvert. The dopamine rewards from social interaction are either too much (or there’s too much anxiety mixed in)

I’m the queen of delayed gratification though and a small amount of reward can keep me going for hours. Incidentally this is why I do well as a coder.
